Reviews:-

“Something for readers of all genres… science fiction certainly, yet peppered with some of the realities of life and friendship…  also a little mystery, some suspense, some adventure, humour… and a happy ever after.

A short yet well written and nuanced story, with moments that made me smile. The quality of writing is sure to inspire young readers and extend their vocabularies.

If anything, I wished that the story had been longer.

Highly recommended.”

...............Malindi Mishra, Amazon.com.au

"Malobi has a knack for bridging our outer and inner worlds in simple language that nevertheless grapples with deep thoughts and ideas. Her stories inspire adults and children alike. Beautifully written and good for the soul."

...............Shourov B., Lead Singer, The Bombay Royale

"Thank you Malobi, for your candor and honesty. I think you have a gift that you share in your writing which is both beautifully constructed and is rich in imagery and feeling of nature and spirit…"
